Comparing whole numbers examples and solutions Grade 4

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 Whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on... They don't include fractions or decimals.
• 🥇 Comparing means seeing which number is bigger or smaller.
• 🐊 We use symbols like $>$ (greater than), $<$ (less than), and $=$ (equal to).
• 💡 A number line can help! Numbers on the right are always bigger.
• 📝 When comparing, start by looking at the number of digits. A number with more digits is usually bigger.
• 📌 If the number of digits is the same, compare the digits from left to right.
